Name: Acer grandidentatum - Quercus muehlenbergii - Quercus laceyi / Carex edwardsiana - Chaetopappa effusa Southern Edwards Plateau Forest Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This association includes mesic canyon forests of the southern Edwards Plateau, from Kendall County west to Real County, Texas. The canopy is dominated by mixtures of <i>Acer grandidentatum, Quercus muehlenbergii, Quercus buckleyi, Quercus laceyi, Juglans major, Prunus serotina var. eximia, Fraxinus albicans, Juniperus ashei</i>, and (locally) <i>Tilia americana var. caroliniana</i>. The shrub stratum is diverse, including many species common in the surrounding landscape, as well as species more characteristic of this community, such as <i>Lindera benzoin, Philadelphus texensis, Styrax platanifolius ssp. stellatus, Ungnadia speciosa, Frangula caroliniana</i>, and <i>Cornus drummondii</i>. The herb stratum is dominated by <i>Carex edwardsiana</i>; other species include <i>Aquilegia canadensis</i> and <i>Verbesina virginica var. virginica</i>. <i>Chaetopappa effusa</i> and <i>Tragia nigricans</i> are characteristic and distinguish this type from the related ~<i>Acer grandidentatum - (Quercus muehlenbergii) / Carex edwardsiana</i> Lampasas Cutplain Forest (CEGL002319)$$. Adjacent slopes are often dominated by oak - juniper woodlands.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:33700-{34211177-9C56-4EA3-98AF-9FE3CEB1378D} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
